Dr. Wayne heard someone speaking in the deserted corridor.

She cautiously approached the speaker with her ax at the ready.

She suddenly stopped when she realized it was her colleague, Dr. Williams. "Anne...you're alive!" she exclaimed. She then looked at the ravaged hallway. "But have you found any more survivors?"

Cale chuckled and aimed his new cyber cannons at the troopers.
"Well, well. More prey. This should be fun..."
He said tauntingly, grinning a little...

Murakami twirled his sword again, then licked it drolly.
"Such wastes...not a one of you is the one I'm after..."
He said laconically...

Outside the base, several gigantic humanoid mecha began moving, tripping the radar...

This time the sound was clear that there's someone still alive around here. Azrael followed the voice down another hall, and stopped when the hall split in two, one of which two voices were coming from...

----------

"What happened?" Vic asked.

"I can barely catch them out through the smoke," Erin answered. "but it looks like they were just ganged up on by someone... I've got no chance for a shot this distance... AND one of them just disappeared..."

"Crimson Base to Crimson 1..." a voice beeped into Vic's headset.

"Crimson 1 here," Vic replied.

"I have Dr Joe on the other end, Crimson 1. Stand by..."

"What?! Now?!"

"Vic?"

"Dr Joe?"

"Vic, I think we got something to get rid of the Dragonstorm experiments. It's a serum designed specifically to target a strand of DNA that connects all Dragonstorm experiments. The scientists must've made this for any experiments that go rogue..."

"With what's happened before, then I'm not surprised... How fast can you get the solution here?"

"We're still trying to make it a part of our bioweapon. But you should be able to get more at the base. Do you have Lab 101 yet?"

"Partially, but Dragonstorm's sent reinforcements to block us off, and backup's a long way away!"

"The convoy's on its way. Your primary still is to seize and destroy the lab. Also, your callsign is now Crimson Leader. General Ross has been injured. That will be explained later. Dr Joe out..."

"Crimson...Leader out."

Aimee looked to the mysterious female still, on her hands and knees still as she scrunched up her hands a little bit before getting to her feet and swinging a fist at the female.

The female in turn, bought up a hand to block the attack and slam the palm of her own hand, right into Aimee's muzzle, injuring her some more before striking at Aimee's throat, further injuring her.

Beneath the mask, the female let off a smirk as she watched Aimee fall back down to her knees in pain before doing a backwards somersault, her feet striking Aimee's jaw in the process as the female landed back on the ground.

Aimee was indeed struck by the attack and fell down to her stomach, unable to continue fighting this figure as she just lay there.

The female smirked to herself some more before turning and in a leap, jumped onto the roof of the building and headed off into Lab 101.

***

After a few minutes, the mysterious female was within the lab itself as a Dragonstorm troop was about to ask on her presence there, only to recieve a headshot a split second later. This woman was not playing games, she was indeed, taking things more seriously now as she moved into where a speare computer was and begun to access the files on the computer, standing up however to do so.

***

Meanwhile, Subject 19 was still walking around in the midst of everything, and she looked pissed as well as she snarled some more, unaware that the pilot and co-pilot had her in their sights as well.

Suddenly, the stand off was broken when Gustave emptied both barrels of his shotgun at Cale.

"Gustave, you f---ing idiot!" Alfred shouted.

"Like I'm going to wait for them to make the first move," Gustave replied. reloading his shotgun and sending the two smoking shells twirling through the air.

Nick22 · **Reply #2665 on:** August 05, 2010, 09:16:48 PM

" do really need to accidently kill one of our guys?' Aisha snapped " If its an accident, thats one thing, its quite another if its deliberatew' dr Landon said.

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2666 on:** August 05, 2010, 10:00:02 PM

Soon, Vic, Erin, & Snow reached where Aimee lies, the medic checking on her vitals while the others kept watch. "She's alive," Vic said. "She looks like she's been punched around a lot... You see where the one she was fighting with went to?"

"Negative, sir," Erin replied. "She moved too fast for me to even get a shot off..."

"That was no ally of ours..." Snow added.

"Let's get this one inside," Vic said, "then we'll go after the Dragonstorm fail-safe weapons Dr Joe was talking about.." Vic then began to pick Aimee up...

----------

The remaining guard also reached a window and blew it out with a piece of debris, and aimed his rifle for Subject 19...

The co-pilot on the other side of the street calmed his breath and fired...

MrDrake · **Reply #2667 on:** August 06, 2010, 12:46:29 AM

Aimee groaned a little bit as she leaned against Vic a little bit as he had helped her up "She escaped didn't she?" Aimee asked as she paused for a moment, realizing something as it had just come to her as well as she looked around "I know who that was....her voice....I remember it....but I thought I killed her....."

Aimee looked to the others as she managed to stand up straight, rubbing her throat a little bit as she was still sore in the throat from it being struck by the woman "But I just don't know what it is she wants here....." she muttered some taking a quick breath of air as well.

Serris · **Reply #2668 on:** August 06, 2010, 12:51:47 AM

"Accidental my ass! If we don't strike, we'll be dead!" Gustave replied, bringing his shotgun to bear on Murakami.

---------------------------

Dr. Bailey noticed another presence in Lab 101's computer banks. "Aiko! Someone's trying to access the databanks!" he said.

MrDrake · **Reply #2669 on:** August 06, 2010, 01:07:32 AM

The mysterious woman continued to type at the computers still, glancing up some as she noticed other Dragonstorm troops scattering around in order to try and stop the intruders of the lab before she looked to the computer screen, grinning to herself somewhat.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer, starting to copy files over.

As the files were copying over, a warning screen flashed in front of her, to which she typed some more still and in a few minutes, had locked out Dr. Bailey from the databanks from where she was "Sorry, I need not any more nuisences...." she chuckled lightly to herself as the files continued to copy over.

Once the files were finished copying over, she removed the flash drive and placed it back into her pocket before accessing one final, vital piece of information, the self-destruct mechanism of the lab itself.

It begun to blare all around "Seven minutes till self-destruction, please evactuate the premessis in a safe and orderly fashion" it spoke out as the mysterious woman left the office and started to make her way towards the exit...

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2670 on:** August 06, 2010, 01:37:38 AM

Aiko watched as Dr Bailey's computer was locked out. "Cunning little..." he murmured, but then turned to his own computer, which the screen lit a message stating 'DOWNLOAD COMPLETE'. He pulled out his own little flash drive and smirked. "But if he came in sooner..."

Then the warning blared across the building. The place was going up in a matter of minutes.

"Time to go," Ice ordered.

Aiko quickly got his things put away. "Need help Doc?" he asked Dr Bailey...

----------

Ivory Leader cursed silently when the self-destruction warning echoed through the hall. "Damn! Ivory Squad, give cover fire! We move out now!!"

The light machine gunners began to send a volley of continuous gunfire at the experiments...

Tank let off a few rounds of small grenades towards Cale as he backed off...

----------

Just as Vic was about talk, the group could hear the self-desrtuct warning from the lab building. Just then, a mechanical form came from the darkness near Lab 101...

(OCC: Did somebody mention something about some mechs in the area?)

MrDrake · **Reply #2671 on:** August 06, 2010, 02:00:06 AM

Soon enough, Viper had returned to where Aimee and the others were, looking to Aimee in particular "You okay Alice?" she asked her.

Aimee grumbled a little bit "It's Aimee" she corrected Viper.

Viper however, just looked to Aimee for a second, not really paying much attention to her name before speaking up again "I saw a strange female in the lab, I don't know what she was doing though..."

"Wait, in the lab you said? I need to go and meet her again....I need something answered from her" Aimee replied back as she looked to Vic and the others before turning and rushing off once again.

"Alice!" Viper called out after Aimee, but realized she wasn't listning as she vanished and reappeared in front of Aimee "Listen, Alice...I know you need to talk to this woman and all, but we really also need to be more concerned about that" she spoke as she pointed to what Vic and the others were looking at.

***

Meanwhile, Subject 19 was shoot in the back as she growled some more, extending her wings to look around at who had shot her, but saw no one as she did not know that the pilot and co-pilot had ducked away out of cover as she growled, walking over to a crashed car, grabbing onto the door of it and ripping it off its hinges in order to use the door as a shield.

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2672 on:** August 06, 2010, 03:11:54 AM

Cale staggered as both grenades hit him in the chest, some of the plates of his armor shedding off as he pursued the fleeing members of the team, Murakami fast on his heels as they charged.
_________________________________________________________________________

Elsewhere in the base, Kagetora and Neku both raced through the corridors, trying to find and evac the others before the detonation...

Nick22 · **Reply #2673 on:** August 06, 2010, 06:38:34 PM

I'm guessing thats our cue to leave" Dr Landion as the alarms began tobsounds ' Lab detonation in t-minus six minutes..
_ ' Alfred, lead the way' aisha said. " Whats the quickest way out of here?" the lights began to flash red as a warning to evacuate..

Serris · **Reply #2674 on:** August 07, 2010, 02:04:18 AM

Dr. Bailey let off a stream of profanities. He had previously tried to disable the self destruct. "Theoretically, I can override the self destruct but I need like an hour to brute force the password," he said, pulling his "cracking drive" out and pocketing it.

He then followed Aiko.

---------------------

Alfred noticed a side door that had been locked near the living quarters. Not having time to find the key, he shot out the lock and literally kicked the door off its hinges. "This way! Hurry!" he shouted over the sirens.

Dr. Zanasiu was the first to exit. He shot an oncoming trooper. The others filed out

---------------------

Dr. Branston ordered all surviving scientists and technicians to head to the motor pool for evacuation. His office was almost completely ravaged with papers strewn everywhere.

He picked up his "evac suitcase" and exited the small prefabricated building. He opened the suitcase and retrieved an incendiary grenade. He pulled the pin and tossed it into the room. He then proceeded as quickly as possible to the motor pool.

---------------------

When he arrived at the motor pool, he was greeted by Keegan O'Neill.

"O'Neill! Have preparations been made?" he demanded.

O'Neill saluted. "Someone set off the self destruct charges in Lab 101," he said.

Dr. Branston shrugged. "Doesn't matter, we're getting the f--- out of here anyways!" he said. He then leapt into one of the armored SUVs.

Around him, the few surviving guards and technicians began heading towards the motor pool.

"Shelton, what do we do? We can't leave the others behind!" Dr. Kerzach whispered.

---------------------

As soon as the entire group exited the lab and made it at least a 150 feet away, Cobalt Squad approached them. All of the members were battered and bruised but alive.

"What the hell happened to you?" Dr. Zanasiu asked.

Spc. Crota smiled, revealing that one of his fangs was broken off. "Nothing much, just some autonomous tanks troops attacked us," he replied. "And I got hit in the face with one of the plastic balls."

"Uh, Crota, you know you're missing a fang right?" Cpl. Stern said.

Spc. Crota nodded. "Yeah, it'll grow back," he said.

"So what's our next destination?" Gustave asked.

"First is probably find Hans, Werner, PFC Reynolds and Zach," Dr. Zanasiu replied.

Cpl. Stern surveyed the completely destroyed camp. He heard gunfire as what he assumed where his allies fighting the remnants of Dragonstorm forces.

But he also noticed several men and women dressed in lab coats or casual clothing who were running towards the northern part of the camp.

MrDrake · **Reply #2675 on:** August 07, 2010, 02:16:38 AM

The mysterious woman continued to stroll out of the lab. While everyone was running one way, she was walking the other way as time ticked on, with only 5 minutes left on the slef-destruct.

However, in the midst of it all, she grabbed one of the scientists and slammed him against the wall of a nearby building, looking at him "Where did Dr. Branston head off to? I must speak to him about something"

"I'm unsure of where...he did say where, he just left without a word" the scientist answered back rather quickly.

The mysterious woman sneered a little bit as she let go of the scientist as she continued to make her way down the path.

In the midst of everything else, she pulled out her weapons, two pistols, holding them at her side as she still had business to attend to in this lab, but she needed everyone else to evactuate as well, which she only smirked to herself as she got closer to Dr. Branston's office.

She entered the office and simply took a look around, scoffing a little bit as Dr. Branston was nowhere to be found, and the office seemed like it had nothing of use inside it, to which she just as quickly left the office.

***

Aimee on the other hand, looked to Viper, then over to Vic for a second, then back to Viper once more before stepped back some, but towards the lab "Listen, I'll go and find that woman...."

"Yeah, but the lab's gonna blow in five minutes" Viper spoke "You sure you want to risk it?"

"Yeah, I'm sure, I'll be out before it blows, trust me on this one...." Aimee spoke back as she turned and took off towards the lab in order to find that mysterious woman.

"Good luck Alice...." Viper muttered to herself as she vanished for a second, only to reappear beside Vic and the others, folding her arms as well "I still don't like it....Alice is gonna get herself killed...."

Mirumoto_Kenjiro · **Reply #2676 on:** August 07, 2010, 02:40:25 AM

Soon, all of Crimson Squad reunited outside the building and moved away with the others, keeping an eye out for stray Dragonstorm guards.

Ivory Squad was the last ones out, putting gunfire behind them against the pursuing experiments...

Above the area, a low sound began to pick up strength as the heroes could see a wave of Comanche helicopters surged over the treeline...

----------

Elsewhere, the two Stryker Battalions moved into multiple groups and spread out. They creapt up behind the Dragonstorm's perimeter of armored vehicles and attacked, using 105mm tank guns and later 30mm cannons...

----------

As the co-pilot's ammo began to wittle away the car door, the guard on the other side aimed and fired...

----------

At the Idaho prison base, the warden, a human woman (picture Judi Densch), walked into her office. She was also in command of the underground Dragonstorm base, not only processing the Lab 101 experiments through growth and testing, but also implementing their own experiments on the inmates and prisoners of the facility.

Once at her chair, an assistant steps through the door. "Ms Race? We got a report. The convoy has been destroyed before it reached its destination. Also, Lab 101 is under attack. Dr Branston is leaving the area..."

"Thank you, Mr Corgan," Julia Race replied calmly. "Make sure the defenses are stepped up and the guards doubled. Other than the good doctors of Dragonstorm, no one is to enter or leave my prison unless I wish it.."

"Yes, ma'am..."

MrDrake · **Reply #2677 on:** August 07, 2010, 07:34:23 AM

After a few seconds of running, Aimee had indeed, caught up the same mysterious woman and called out to her "Wait!" was all she could think of calling out to her.

The woman stopped in her tracks, her guns at her sides as she chuckled to herself, already guessing the voice as she turned around to face Aimee "A bit rash isn't this? Coming after me when this place is going to go up in smoke in under five minutes?"

Aimee glared to her "I know who you are....but the question I have running through my head at the moment is how is it even possible? I thought I had killed you already!"

The woman chuckled back some more "So, you have me all figured out do you? Very well then, if that is the case, then I suppose I could answer your question for you....you think you had killed me that time....but there is one thing you had failed to do...which was to double check the body.....just because you hear a simple snap and believe that you had broken my neck, does not mean you had actually suceeded in doing so"

Aimee snarled some more, clenching her fists in the process before she glared back at the hooded woman "Trinity.....you really are getting on my nerves...."

The woman just chuckled some more "At least you're not as dumb as you make yourself to be" she spoke as she reached for her mask and pulled it off her face, tossing it aside to indeed, reveal herself to Aimee....it was none other than Trinity, alive and well in front of the vixen.

"FOUR MINUTES TO SELF-DESTRUCTION" the voice blared out again.

Trinity just smirked back, looking to Aimee some more, as she could tell that the vixen still wanted a fight with her "Very well then....three minutes....three minutes is all I can spare to play with you" she chuckled some as she put her guns away before dashing forward towards Aimee.

Aimee stood her ground as she waited for Trinity to approach her before swinging her fists at the human, only to have Trinity duck under the swing of her fists with ease and strike her back in the lower section of her jaw as Aimee stumbled back a little bit before recieving a second strike to the stomach as she stumbled back even more.

Trinity pulled back the hood of her coat as she stepped back just a little bit, smirking to herself a little bit as she looked to Aimee "Come now, I thought you were suppose to be much better than this...I already beat you once as it is" she spoke in regards to their last run-in earlier on "I was at least hoping for a decent fight...." she chuckled some more as she rushed towards Aimee once again and went to slam her fist into Aimee's stomach.

However, Aimee managed to grab onto the hand and punch Trinity in the face before grabbing her and giving her a little headbutt as well.

Trinity just gave off a little bit of a laugh back, rubbing her chin a little bit "Not bad....." she chuckled.

Aimee however, glared to Trinity some more "There's one thing I don't understand....how is it that you're so fast now?" she asked her as she stood her ground a little bit again.

"Oh, it's just a little serum I've been trying to perfect all this time, and now that I had perfected it....injecting myself with it was the next step and voila....I have the speed and agility to match that of Albert Wesker" Trinity chuckled back as she looked to Aimee before dashing forward, leaping off the ground slightly as she slammed a foot into Aimee's jaw, knocking her back some feet as well before landing on the ground once again.

***

Subject 19 continued to hold her ground as the car door was being shot at, unaware that the guard on the otherside was aiming at her and was ready to fire.

Yet, she took the chance to start to rush forward towards where the co-pilot was situated as she crashed through the side of the building, straight away bringing the car door down onto the co-pilot to try and slice him in half with said car door.

Nick22 · **Reply #2678 on:** August 07, 2010, 04:21:16 PM

Dr landon and Aisha bent over to catch their breaths once they had reached a safe distance " is everyone out? Aisha asked " we need to get going before the police start searching this place.."

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #2679 on:** August 07, 2010, 04:50:03 PM

Just as Trinity kicked Aimee, Cale rounded the corner, armor smoldering and damaged, but he himself looking calm and focused.

"Trinity...what are you doing here?"

He asked coldly, aiming his mechanized cannons at her as Roux darted over and got in front of Aimee, holding a set of knives ready.

"You..."
She hissed...
